Panel Discussion and Concert One for Friday, December 8, 2006:

The twelfth Other Minds Festival kicked off with this panel discussion (track 1), moderated by Charles Amirkhanian and featuring composers Per Nørgård, Peter Sculthorpe, and Daniel David Feinsmith, (Maja Ratkje was sick with the flu and missed this pre-concert discussion). Per talks about the origin of the name of his Quartet No. 10 for strings, “Høsttidløs”(Harvest-Timeless). which is named after a Danish flower that blooms in late autumn. Peter Sculthorpe describes how his piece From Saibai, was inspired by traditional music from an island just south of Papua New Guinea. While Daniel David Feinsmith comments on his interest in performing religious music and his new piece Elohim, which takes its title from one of the names of God found in the Torah. Also discussed are the benefits each composers found during their three day stay at the Djerassi Resident Artists Program immediately prior to the start of the Festival.
